Queen Conch and Sand Dollars - A Work in Progress
Today I was painting with the Lakefield Creative Arts Group at the St. John the Baptist Anglican Church in Lakefield.
Since I wouldn't be able to stay the entire day, I chose to work on small pieces in pen and ink.
I brought along three pieces that I had started a long time ago (see post on 26 September 2014).
Beginning with the first one of three sketches featuring Queen Conch shells, I finished the first Sand Dollar and started on the Conch shell before I had to leave to for a number of appointments.
I will post this drawing at a later date once it has been completed.

Aaron's Dragon
Today I am at Christine's place babysitting Aaron. We played with various of his toys until suppertime.
After supper he got himself ready for bed and we settled down on the couch to draw until his dad came from work to put him to bed.
Aaron asked if I would draw a dragon for him to put on his wall. So I asked him what kind of dragon he wanted an he and he told me it had to have horns, big green eyes, long claws on its feet, a long tail and its scales had to be blue.
Once he approved of the drawing, I started to colour in the horns, while Aaron picked out the colour for the dragon's eyes.
Next he gave me a pink pencil to do her nostrils, and he gave me a dark brown pencil for the claws.
Lastly, he picked out the blue for the dragon's body and I started colouring in the dragon's body when his dad came home.
I offered to finish colouring the dragon before I left to go home, but he insisted on taking it to his room with him and put it by his bed.

ACEO - Sand Bucket 1
Today was going to be a very busy day; most of it was spent running errands leaving just a small amount of time for painting.
We started off by going to Wimpy's diner, at 1080 Landsdowne Street West, in Peterborough, Ontario for breakfast.
I enjoy going there as they play music from the 50's, have a wide variety of choices, good quality food and wonderful service.
The décor is in keeping with the time period, having advertising on the walls of the foods, motorcycles, cars and trucks, pictures of the actors and actresses, some of the cartoon characters and a number of the slogans.
In one corner there is a junk box with flashing lights changing colours in time with the music.
From there we went to two hardware stores, the lumber yard, the bank and three different grocery stores. On the way home we picked up lunch.
After having our meal, I put the groceries away before getting out my art supplies to paint.
I picked this painting that I had started quite a while ago (see posts on 21 June 2013 and 22 July 2017).
I worked on the sand bucket first and washed in alizarin crimson on the main body of the pail. I darkened the paint slightly and added another layer of paint into the mid tone and shadowed areas of the pail. Lastly, I put in another layer of darker colour into the shadowed areas to complete the body of the pail.
Next, I worker on the trim and handle of the pail using a wash of new gamboge first. This was followed by using a mix of cadmium yellow and new gamboge to complete the pail.
Next, I used a mixture of Antwerp blue and raw sienna and put in some seaweed, that had been washed up on the shore.

I added a small sea shell on the right-hand side of the beach below the pail.
Lastly, I added some texture to the sand using a sponge with mixture of burnt sienna, alizarin crimson and French ultramarine blue.
If you would like more information about ACEO please go to my post on 11 March 2010.
The ACEO shown here is an original watercolour painting using Artist quality Winsor & Newton paint on 140lb. Arches 100% rag, acid free watercolour paper. It is priced at $20.00 and sold unframed.

Oil Lamp Trio - A Work in Progress
Today was the first session in the New Year with the Buckhorn Tuesday Painting Group.
Last year we spoke about having a small still life display set up on the first session of each month for those that were interested in working from life.
To start the year off with a challenge I brought in glass objects which are always interesting as well as challenging.
Three of the group decided to take up the challenge. Next month another person will bring in the still life treasures.
I managed to complete the outline drawing for two of the glass oil lamps and made some progress on the third one.
I will post this piece at a later date once more work on it has been completed.
